i would call around to several shops and see what their clutch install includes, warranty information, and above all cost. prices differ across the states, and it will be a more worth while investment of time to check with some of your closest transmission/car repair shops.

to do the clutch on my freinds 98 jetta it cost him just over 500 bux.

Don't let anyone touch it that has not changed the clutch on an Mkiv Toyota Supra turbo before. The procedure for this car is unique - it has several key differences from most other makes & models. It should cost about $400 in labor if you take it to a reputable, experienced shop. On a lift, with a transmission jack and two people who know exactly what they're doing, it can be done in four hours.

Alternatively, with the right tools you can do it yourself on high jackstands in about eight hours (you'll need a buddy's help during the job at two points, for about 15 minutes each time). You'll need to study the steps ahead of time, and be sure you have *everything* ready:

P.S. Don't give these instructions to 'bubba' at your local tranny shop - I can promise you he'll mess it up. A Getrag 6spd transmission is about $6K from Toyota......

X2 on not letting any shop do the change. With such a critical component, it can be messed up pretty easy. If you have the tools and know-how to do it yourself, I would suggest that.
